The Cache protects your laptop
with little bulk added and is ideal for those who don't want their laptop case
to make their loads heavier or to take up a lot of space. It cradles your laptop
in .25" / 6 mm thick foam padding laminated with an exterior of heavy-duty
polyester knit and an interior of brushed tricot. With no noisy Velcro® or
zipper, the Cache closes by simply tucking a generous flap into the top
opening.

Want help figuring out which size of Cache you need for your laptop or tablet? Use our handy Brain Cell/Cache/Bag Fit Guide or emailus@tombihn.com. Here's something worth noting:
the Cache is designed to be a snug fit for just a laptop. If you use a thin plastic case on your laptop, we suggest you measure your laptop with the
case on to determine (or help us determine) if you need to order the next size up of Cache.

On the back (or bottom, depending how you look at it) of
the Cache are two parallel "rails" of 1" wide, lightweight nylon
webbing which extend from the top to the bottom. Should you choose to add
two Gatekeeper Rail Clips to your order for the Cache, your Cache will arrive with the Gatekeeper Rail Clips attached.
To attach the Cache to one of our larger bags with the compatible rail loops (Synapse 25, Synapse 19, Brain Bag, Smart Alec, Tri-Star, Cadet), simply unclip the side of the Gatekeeper Rail Clip that isn't clipped to the Cache, slip it through the
webbing rail loops in the larger bag's main main compartment, and flip it shut. Slip the
Cache inside the larger bag, and pull it back out: you'll see that
the Gatekeeper Rail Clips ride the rails of the Cache, allowing you
to remove your laptop from the from the larger entirely while it is still encased in
the protective Cache.

Doing this at the airport security checkpoint means the X-ray machines (and
TSA personnel) will have a clear, unobstructed view of your laptop — allowing
you to keep your laptop in the Cache and the whole affair securely
held together as one unit. (We think that's much better than having to remove
the laptop and dump it in one of those buckets.)

Most of us will appreciate this functionality on a daily basis as well:
the rail system can be a convenient and quick way to remove one's laptop from
the bag.

The Cache vs. the Brain Cell

The Cache is designed to provide protection against
scrapes and scratches. It slips inside larger bags. The
Brain Cell (like the Cache,
available in Horizontal
and Vertical) provides
substantial laptop protection: inside the Brain Cell, your laptop hangs suspended, cradled in a
sling of 10 mm thick, soft foam padding inside a 4 mm hard corrugated plastic shell that protects from the front, back,
and bottom. At the bottom of the plastic shell is affixed a strip of memory foam. The Brain Cell clips securely inside our larger bags.

The Cache has a slimmer profile than the Brain Cell and on average weighs about eight ounces less. The Brain
Cell provides significantly more protection for your laptop. The Brain Cell has handles and
can accommodate an optional shoulder strap — the Cache has neither.

Which one is right for you? That's your call. Some customers feel they don't need the extra protection the Brain Cell
provides, and they prefer the slimmer profile of the Cache. Others feel that the investment that is
their laptop warrants the extra protection the Brain Cell provides.

From the TSA Web site:"To help streamline the security process and better
protect
laptops TSA has recently encouraged manufacturers to design bags that will
produce a clear
and unobstructed image of the laptop when undergoing X-ray screening. A design
that meets
this objective will enable TSA to allow laptops to remain in bags for
screening." For more
